Asphalt is a material synthesized from crude oil and used in many different applications. In fact, 80% of American residential roofing and 94% of roads include asphalt. Asphalt is also one of the most recyclable materials available.

The Benefits of Recycled Asphalt Shingles

The truth is most asphalt shingles aren’t brand new; they are often recycled from older components and even older roofing materials. This has a lot of advantages on its own. Recycling asphalt shingles cuts U.S. oil use, reducing costs and dependence on imported oil. Recycling the added parts also reduces need for mining of other non-renewable resources. Overall, recycled asphalt shingles provide you, the consumer, with an environmentally friendly and sustainable material designed to last for generations.
